Ok, so technically it’s 4am on the 16th… but whatever, who’s really counting? Valentine’s Day, or Single’s Awareness Day for most, was fairly low key for me. I spent most of it with friends, running around, catching up on photography stuff that I felt needed attention.
Later that evening I ended up heading to Back Alley to see the band Dirty Black Summer perform. Ironically, I ended up running into a number of friends there. Kassandra, who I’m working with on a pinup shoot (see previous blogs), knows the band – who I know through a friend… how’s that for three degrees of separation? I was then introduced to Lauren – who I also already knew from working together at Green Door for the Blive Couture/SUBRAGE Fashion Show back in November.
Small world…

Today, Monday, was a cruise and lunch with some of the Topdown crew…
Well, those of us who managed to wake up before noon. A brief cruise though the hills, and then up Highway 1 to Harbor House… pretty much everything that we ordered was amazing. If it wasn’t so filling I think a lot of us would have ordered second dishes of something, too.

Didn’t take nearly as many photos as I thought I would I rode with Ninj in his car so I could shoot instead of focusing on driving. I have some decent stuff… but nothing like I hoped to get. Here’s a quick example of the shots I was getting…

Fred and his girl B’.

Coming up this week I have meeting with a major parts supplier for some small projects.
Also, I’m going to be shooting with Jesse Hart on Tuesday in Hollywood… so if any of you in or around LA want to do something that night, hit me up!
